I was bimbling around the bike yesterday, re-sorting sag etc. I suddenly realised that the total amount of stantion showing on my 120mm forks was 100mm. I bought these second hand an in fairness, they've been great so no complaints. However, given they've been matched to a 100mm travel Anthem, I suspect that the travel has been adjusted down. Is it an easy fix (can anyone show me what I need) to change it back to a 120mm, or is there something else that might be accountable for the reduction on travel?
The forks work well anyway, so I don't think there's a fault' and I could leave alone but I want to try the 120mm forks as I used run to on my Anthem 26er

Solo air? Then change to a 120mm airshaft.

Before you spend money, have you serviced them recently? The stantions on Reba Solo Air can get sucked down due to negative spring doodahs (see thread below)

So you may well have a 120mm airshaft already.

You need to put your fork's serial no. ( on rear of crown) into here:

Then you can see exactly what you have and then get the right air shaft from either a UK source or one of the German shops.
